Museum of Science

We went to the Museum of Science because it was part of the CityPass we bought, but we would have been alright if we had not gone to this museum.

There were lots and lots of kids there, and they were exploring the numerous hands-on exhibits, but Jordan and I didn't push them out of the way to have a turn. But Jordan did find a section that interested him, and there weren't many kids in this area.




I did like seeing this ring from a Sequoia tree!

It was pretty interesting to compare the rings of the tree when it grew well with the rings from the years when it didn't grow well. The rings from the unfavorable growth years were much closer together.

The other part of the museum I particularly enjoyed was a photo exhibit called "What I Eat: Around the World in 25 Diets." The Museum of Science website has this to say about the exhibit:

Each of the 25 photo essays in the exhibit includes a comprehensive list of every item that individual consumed during one particular — though not necessarily average — day, along with the total calorie count. Profiles are laid out in order of increasing caloric intake, from a low of 800 calories a day for a Maasai herder in Kenya, to a high of 12,300 one day for a binge eater in England.
